Digney Fignus

“A Jimmy Buffet sound meets George Jones. Outstanding.” -Jody Dickey Rockin Roundup Rodeo.com “The whole album is just extraordinary. The last time I reacted this positively to an unusual name and a musical performance, I was 12 years old. My mom and I were watching this little 9-inch round RCA TV. It was the first appearance for this guy with a weird name called Elvis Presley.” -Steve King, WGN Chicago With comparisons to early Elvis, Jimmy Buffet and George Jones, Digney Fignus rem...

“A Jimmy Buffet sound meets George Jones. Outstanding.” -Jody Dickey Rockin Roundup Rodeo.com “The whole album is just extraordinary. The last time I reacted this positively to an unusual name and a musical performance, I was 12 years old. My mom and I were watching this little 9-inch round RCA TV. It was the first appearance for this guy with a weird name called Elvis Presley.” -Steve King, WGN Chicago With comparisons to early Elvis, Jimmy Buffet and George Jones, Digney Fignus remains an original. His fourth CD Talk of the Town continues the story of Johnnie Boudreaux, “a man too good lookin’ for his own good.” Digney introduced fans to the devilish Boudreux in his 2006 CD Trouble on the Levee which enjoyed 22 weeks on the Americana Roots Rock chart. Digney Fignus is a Boston based singer/songwriter well known for his song and MTV hit "The Girl With the Curious Hand." He reaches a new generation with songs from Talk of the Town; ranging from the contagious can’t-get-the-tune-out-of-your-head “No Worry for the Berry” to the viral jump up and dance “Do the Walk,” to the thought-provoking song for peace “Letter from the Line.” A short story mystery (with a “who done it?” riddle for the readers to solve) accompanies the CD, bringing to life a cast of characters that includes Johnnie’s former lovers, Yvonne, the beautiful bootlegger (“What Kind of Fool”) and ex-wife Sally, now an angry nun with a score to settle (“I’m Sorry Sally” and “The Girl’s Gone Ga-Ga”). Digney's song "Gumbo" from Trouble on Levee was a finalist in the WUMB 2006 songwriting contest and "Fallin' for You" was used at a Touchstone Picture TV screening in 2007. "Griftin' River Blues" was used in a short documentary called "The House That Brian Built". Digney is currently a judge on New England 's Community Audition/Star of the Day television show.
